Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Religion of the Sun: A Posthumous Poem, of Thomas Paine, With a Preface
Start not, ye Muses! At the introduction ofa votary who has been 1ep01ted to have turned the world upside down! He sings upon his high toned ly1 e, But Fancy' 8 Sketch. What, tho' he be the avowed Author of Rebellion, even in Apollo s realms? Yet, fear ye not, shy Damsels! Dpotto sfniles at the rhapsodies of this son oi' eccentricity, and, impartial, pours the genial in?uence full into his bosom. List but to his song, and you will then acknowledge him; and at the pauses which all destructive Time has made, let the pure tear-drops of pity be dew your virgin cheeks, while the warm glowing sigh of com passion, in mellowing harmony, breathes, Alas! Our Brother!
